That's fun blindfolded, too. Actually, I masked off a cosmetically-challenged Leitz 5cm BL finder to square proportions and keep it in the flash shoe on my PM90 prism to use with the 80 when I use the MLU (after focusing). Neccessity is the mother of invention. <> Too late. I'm not putting any more $$ into the Rollei. The beattie screens aren't the greatest, I'll admit, but I didn't do much research at the time. I had one left over that I took out of a Pentax 6x7 when I sold it, and finally cut it down and installed it in my 500C. Not nearly as nice as the acute-matte in my C/M. The beattie darkens at the corners if you don't keep your eye straight, and it's a lot better with the prism than the W.L. magnifier. DT
